and remarkable for its narcotic or intoxicating
p^ower; irom^ t h e f rui t is prepared a k ind of spurious

doubttui whether the intoxicating effect of the
Betel Nut, which is cut in slices, folded in the
aromatic leaves of the Betel pepper Nut (Piper
Betel), and chewed in the mouth like tobacco, is
not owing to the Piper leaf, in which it is wrapped
when eaten,Tather than to any special property of its
